Installing a memory module
The following notes describe the types of DIMMs that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when you install DIMMs.
v When you install or remove DIMMs, the server configuration information
changes. When you restart the server, the system displays a message that
indicates that the memory configuration has changed.
v
The server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3), 800,
1066, or 1333 MHz, PC3-6400, PC3-8500, or PC3-10600 registered or
unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of
supported memory modules for the server.
– The specifications of a DDR3 DIMM are on a label on the DIMM, in the
following format.
ggggg eRxff PC3 v - wwwwwm - aa - bb - ccd
where:
ggggg is the total capacity of the DIMM (for example, 256MB, 512MB,
1GB, 2GB, or 4GB)
eR is the number of ranks
1R = single-rank
2R = dual-rank
